Partying With Cold Blooded Killers On The 4th Of July
How will the United States of America react to the horrible tragedies playing out on the streets of Iran? How will this great country address the cold blooded killing of beautiful young people like Neda Soltan (see read here and here)?
Her friends say Panahi, Neda and two others were stuck in traffic on Karegar Street, east of Tehran’s Azadi Square, on their way to the demonstration sometime after 6:30 p.m. After stepping out of the car to get some fresh air and crane their necks over the jumble of cars, Panahi heard a crack from the distance. Within a blink of the eye, he realized Neda had collapsed to the ground.
“We were stuck in traffic and we got out and stood to watch, and without her throwing a rock or anything they shot her,” he said. “It was just one bullet.”
Blood poured out of the right side of her chest and began bubbling out of her mouth and nose as her lungs filled up.
“I’m burning, I’m burning!” he recalled her saying, her final words.
What will we do to ensure these brutal deaths are not in vane?
We’ll  be partying with the damn cold blooded killers on the 4th of July!
he United States said Monday its invitations were still standing for Iranian diplomats to attend July 4 celebrations at US embassies despite the crackdown on opposition supporters.
President Barack Obama’s administration said earlier this month it would invite Iran to US embassy barbecues for the national holiday for the first time since the two nations severed relations following the 1979 Islamic revolution.
“There’s no thought to rescinding the invitations to Iranian diplomats,” State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters.
“We have made a strategic decision to engage on a number of fronts with Iran,” Kelly said. “We tried many years of isolation, and we’re pursuing a different path now.”
What the hell is this? Slaughter a few hundred people and let’s sit back and wine and dine. If this happens, if we invite the modern day version of Hitler and Stalin to celebrate our nation’s birth, I think that will be the last 4th of July I will ever be able to stomach.
All the fallen heroes who rose up against British oppression, who carved out this country from the wilderness, who defended this country for over 200 years must be puking in their graves to see us partying with the likes of the Iranian Regime.
This is a game changer for me with Obama (and Secretary/Senator/First Lady Clinton). I had been giving him mixed results overall because he did not cut and run in Iraq or Afghanistan, has kept up the surgical strikes against al Qaeda in Pakistan, held the NSA-FISA reforms in place. He is trashing the economy and failing miserably there, but I was willing to give him some kudos on national defense and international issues.
Until now. I just cannot fathom the thinking here. Ahmedinejad and Khamenei, not to mention their thugs, must be ecstatic. They just got the green light from the Obama administration, who basically said “do what you must, see you in a few weeks to party!”.
Iran is trying to negate the martyrdom of Neda. Iran is trying to quell the rising anger of the uprising. And the Obama administration, by making it known the party is still on, just gut punched the protestors. I knew Obama would make mistakes of ignorance and naiveté. But I never thought he would sell our collective soul to the devil himself. Vice President Biden said the man would be tested, and he has not just failed.
This is a near treasonous act, the coddling of these mass murderers of the innocent. This is not America. We have spent our precious blood over the centuries to fight this kind of cancer on humanity. Now we are going to sit down and party with them on our nation’s birthday right after they have been out on a killing spree.
I could not be more disgusted. H/T Allah Pundit
“But I never thought he would sell our collective soul to the devil himself.”
Better be careful. Much more of that and you’ll find yourself on Janet Napolitano’s domestic “usual suspects” list.
Obama refuses to pull the invites because he doesn’t know which way things will play out in Iran. Are you kidding me? Take a stand and defend that position. Don’t play both sides til you know who will come out on top so that you can not be disliked.
Sadly, BO is just voting “present” as usual.
Mousavi is simply another kook who has a murderous track record; cry for the dead all you want….Mousavi does not represent change in Iran.

Since I have never believed The WordWon to be naive, I am not at all surprised he left his invitation in place. He is so bad that only the word ‘scary’ applies.
We elected representatives to be our Voices. If these stupid people can not figure a way around the Silence of the MSM, we need all new ones. If they speak out and it does not make a big enough splash to be heard, do something that will. I do not buy the argument that they are powerless. Instead, they are either lazy or stupid. Gather a group and get yourselves on TV. NOW.
The Iran people were asking “where is my vote”. I am asking “where is my elected Voice?”
Maybe this is just not disgusting enough for them? July 4th!
Once a politician, always a politician. Never a man. Many of us saw this long ago and acted responsibly in casting our votes.
The Pinnochio Presidente! The only stand he will take is that which does harm to America!
“Pinnochio are you a real man or just a boy puppet?”
Obama would be far more interested in Iran if we could convince him that the people in Iran weren’t rallying for their country but were demanding government run health care.
I sent the White House an email and asked them why they did not go all out and just invite Castro and Hugo Chavez while they were at it. They could replace the fireworks with a Death to America rally or something.
Tone deaf idiots.
Terrye….that’s an e-mail I would have put my name to. Good for you. Kathie
That’s a good one Terrye. Now, can I sic you on ABC? My moaning that they have replaced NBC as chief offender has zero effect. BTW, I did actually manage to get their station canceled to my house for several months until spouse figured it out and reconnected. I am served that most bias of all (Dianne S) with breakfast each day. So am I surprised ABC (w/darling Dianne) will just now broadcast the Dem’s TV from the Oval? Nope. Get em.
ABC is enemy media #1 and I have a verrry long list.
Who knew? This happened in 2006. Read the rest at Worldtribune.com
